Manual climate control, A/C
Timer
The timer function minimises the risk of icing,
misting and bad air if recirculation is selected.
See the Personal Preferences section, p. 63,
for how to activate and deactivate the
function. Recirculation is always disengaged
when you select Defroster (3).
3. Defroster
Quickly removes misting
and ice from the windscreen
and side windows. Air flows
to the windows at high fan
speed. The LED in the
defroster button lights when
the function is active.
When the function is selected the following
also takes place to provide maximum
dehumidification of the air in the passenger
compartment:
• the air conditioning (A/C) is automatically
engaged
• recirculation is automatically disengaged.
When the defroster is switched off the
climate control returns to the previous
settings.
4. Air distribution
The airflow can be
distributed to the windows,
dashboard vents or floor by
pressing the air distribution
buttons.
A symbol on the display
above the climate control panel and a lit LED
in the button indicate which function has
been selected.
See the table on p. 73.
